esteemapp V2(2.0.6) crashes upon re-opening after setting the server to https://steemd.privex.io and closing the app
Project Information
- Repository : https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-mobile
- Project Name : eSteem Mobile v2
Expected Behaviour
The app should not crash after we set the server to https://steemd.privex.io and reopen it after closing.
Actual Behaviour
After setting the server as https://steemd.privex.io and closing the app in background, eSteem v2 crashes once it is opened again. It took more than one and a half minute for the app to crash on my device. This continues to happen until the app data is not cleared and a re-login is required to use the app again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch the app and login
- Go to settings and set the server as https://steemd.privex.io
- Exit and close the app in background
- Re-open the app and wait for some time, a crash will occur.

Hi @syedumair, thanks for making this contribution.
I was able to replicate the crash just as you have described. I also noticed that even without you changing the server to the one mentioned here, turning off the data connection before restarting the app makes it load for a while and then crash.
I think this crash happens when there is no connection to the server/node. Which is either as a result of no data connection or the specified node being inaccessible like in the case of this report..
I appreciate the fact that you waited for the PO's acknowledgement of the bug before posting. This is very good practice. Also, the steps you provided were easy to follow.
Do you know providing a logcat with a crash report greatly aids the PO in the error detection? It also increases your reward score. You should try this in your next report :)
Thanks again for the contribution. We look forward to more of this :)
